Policy Page

The Policy page lists all current policy profiles available for use by Code Insight projects. A policy profile contains a set of policies used to perform an automatic review of a project’s inventory items upon publication of the inventory. The policies within a given policy profile are defined and maintained on the associated Policy Details Window for the profile.

From the Policy page, users who have Policy Manager permissions can access functionality to create new policy profiles, as well as update or copy existing profiles, as described in Managing Policy Profiles. Users without Policy Manager permissions can view policies only.

To open the Policy page, use either of these methods:

From the Code Insight dashboard (which is displayed when you start Code Insight), click view policy. See Opening Code Insight for details on accessing the dashboard.
Click the icon in the upper right corner of the Code Insight Web UI to open the Code Insight main menu. Select POLICY from the menu.
